Under the Banyan tree: Victorian tellers head north to Darwin Festival

Lily Pang travelled from NSW to Darwin

Storytellers from around Australia travelled to the Darwin Festival.

Coordinated by Anne E Stewart from Victoria, shows included Under the Banyan Tree, Spirits of the Night and the Wisdom of the Elders.

One of the days in Darwin was dedicated to continuing the discussion, that began In NSW, on ways to further the development of Storytelling in Australia. Topics included the building of a National Website, the complexity of managing both volunteer and professional storytellers and unifying the names of the various storytelling groups around Australia.
